Return Another Way

Observing Epiphany and Beginning a New Year

By: Muriel Tarr Kurtz

The traditional advent wreath does not include a candle for the Wise Men, but we know they have a special place in our Christmas celebrations. They deserve our interest. This book continues the story to Epiphany, which is January 6, the day the Wise Men were thought to have arrived in Bethlehem. It emphasizes the significance of Epiphany both as a day and as an experience. What is the meaning of Epiphany? The Wise Men had an epiphany, just as we have them. It is that magical moment when the light goes on in your head. Suddenly you know something to be true. The Wise Men knew Jesus was special, unique, worthy of the efforts they had made to meet Him. The word-of-mouth predictions they had heard were right on. As in her first book, Prepare Our Hearts, the author presents a story with a Bible reference and suggests an activity the family can enjoy together. The stories and suggestions can help each family create special times, memories to cherish. The goal is to enrich the family experience by sharing thoughts, activities, and learning together.

Prepare Our Hearts

Advent and Christmas Traditions for Families

By: Muriel Tarr Kurtz

When we join a group, be it Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Rotary, or Kiwanis, we expect to give it time and energy to fulfill the mission of the group. If we dont participate, we receive no benefits from our membership. We dont join a family, God puts us into one, but the same thoughts apply. Being in a family that lives separately under one roof is a huge loss. God could predict this, so we have the passage in Deuteronomy 6, which is worth re-reading from time to time. Prepare Our Hearts will give you new thoughts about your Christmas celebrations. It may help you appreciate that many people before us have longed to be ready for the birth of the Christ child and have taken time to alter their patterns and make room for activities that inspire. Advent, the four weeks before Christmas, can be a wonder-filled time for families to begin the practice of gathering as a family for a common purpose. During Advent, we prepare our hearts, thoughts, and homes for the coming of the Christ child. It is a perfect time for sharing, reading Scripture, and special stores about Christmas, singing, praying, and lighting the candles in the Advent wreath. The family is encouraged to plan for others and enjoy activities together. Families need encouragement in our day when many forces intrude. Think seriously how your family lives in December. Use the suggestions to make your own traditions. Most importantly, dont allow the precious years with your children to vanish into nothingness. Prepare Our Hearts will contribute to memory-making that will be remembered long after the gifts exchanged no longer fit or hold interest.
